MACAIA CULTURAL ASSOCIATION
The non-for profit organisation supporting the collective was founded in 2010. Since then, it has been running artistic and cultural projects and among them, numerous cultural intervention initiatives, projects for social activation and community art, visual and performative art.
The mission of MACAIA is to make a positive contribution to the community, by initiating and running projects and programs with social and cultural impact, both at the local and European level.
The members of Macaia Association are young artists from different fields of activity who have chosen a lifestyle based on continuous self-education.
Currently, the Association’s efforts are dedicated to transferring expertise to growing initiatives in several Romanian regions, helping build communities of active citizens.
